Is there anything special or important to know about swapping tubes in the bellari?

It's very easy. Unscrew one of the Allen nuts, swing the heat sheild plate out of the way and remove the tube. It comes with a fairly lousy tube. I replaced it with an old Sylvania 12AX7 (out of an old Fender Amp) and the sound improved quite a bit

I don't think so, this is just a pre-amp tube, you can just pull it out and swap with another. Though you may need to research which tube you would like to use.

It's pretty easy. Just grab the tube and pull straight up. It might need a little wiggling to get the tube to release. To install, line up the pins and push down until seated. Nothing to fear.

I don't think so. I replaced the stock tube with a Gold Pin Tung Sol. Sounded very good.

I have the B version and it works fine. The BVx lists this also as an accessory. I do not see any difference in the tube mount, so yes, it should work the same

This unit is fairly easy to install although the instructions are not all that clear. Make sure the the ends of the tubes are cut square. And push them into the connector until they are fully seated and clicked in. If you turn the unit on and it gushes into the drain, you have the bypass on, so flip the switch. It should be a gently trickle. You don't have to be a plumber, just have basic handy skills.

Yes, and no. You would have to cut the tube and tighten the electrical. Possible, but you'll have to be handy.

Dear Bryan H. We are sorry to say no this is only the cross over tube. Please let us know if we can be of any other assistance. TheBBQDepot

The EH Tube 6922 featured in the upgraded unit is very prominent here in the U.S. and all over the world, so a replacement can purchased very easily from on line sources. Actually any tube that has the same specs can be used in the unit and should not be an issue at all with getting another tube replacement.

It looks like the two responses from Ron's Legacy and dcaudill are pretty much the same thing I would suggest. Give the tubes and yourself a good opportunity to work it out. Don't forget to use the Internet to find some helpful hints or how-to videos.

Yes, you should be able to re-use the tubes without any problems. However, it's a always a good idea to order a spare tube. :)

Yes, I have the old one and it worked OK, I think the only peace I couldn't figure out how to connect was the tubes that conect to the pump, but I bought new ones.

Yes; All the "mechanicals" are in the "Parallelogram". As above keep as much tube as possible; also, in case you want to switch it to another bike in the future.

Yes. I recently replaced mine. It was stubborn to get the old one out of the tube holder.

The bar ends are open (plastic caps come installed but can removed) and the tube diameter is standard. I can slide in a bar-end brake lever (that's all I have around to test with), so I would assume that bar-end shifters would install just fine. The question at that point would be cable routing. The could come out the back end of the bars, but there is not an exit hole that would route them out the side or bottom of the bars in front of the head tube so that the shift cables could be routed along (or within) the downtube.

In most cases yes. The newer bladders are easier to deal with because you can remove the entire tube assembly and pull off the bite valve. In my case, I had winter tubes which have a hard rubber casing around the valve which is impossible to switch out. I had to buy an entirely new tube/valve assembly.

You can, but it will be harder. It can come out perfect but its a gamble. Tubes are more guaranteed.

the best answer i can give is a combination of marburg and max d. answer, the tubes should be the of the same type, but the don't have to be "matched"but, "matched" would be optimal , though they usually do cost more for the process of testing, matching

It is possible to use a different pump with this. You will need to make sure the tube will fit the pump.
